Well, buoyancy is capacity to float in liquid. So the object needs to have air to make it float an example for an boat the Titanic for example was really heavy it was made out of steel so it had air in the bottom to make the ship float.

What objects gives buoyancy?

Buoyancy is linked to density, density being how much material is packed into an object of a certain size. Objects with less density will generally be buoyant in more dense objects.


How does size affect buoyancy?

Yes it does. If you have 2 same weights, but ones a different size, the bigger one will be more buoyant.


Two objects are the same shape and size they are said to be?

Such objects are said to be congruent.


What problems would occur in your picture if the objects were not congruent?

Objects are congruent if they are the same size and shape, or an exact reflection of one another. If objects are not congruent, they are dissimilar in either size, shape or both.

What law explains the floating of objects on water?

You need to explore the following topics: 1) Pascal's Principle, 2) Buoyancy, and 3) Archimedes' Principle.In a nutshell, objects submerged in a fluid such as water will experience an upward force that is proportional to the size of the object. That upward force is called buoyancy. If an object's buoyancy is greater than its weight (which is a downward force), the object will float. If the buoyancy is not sufficiently large to overcome the weight, the objects sinks.


What are congruent objects?

congruent objects are the objects that are similar to each other in shape , size and color including length , width and breadth. for example:these 2 pictures are congruent as they same in size , colour and shape.


Is gravity and buoyancy the same size?

Neither gravity nor buoyancy have dimensions (size).


What are objects recognize by?

Shape, size, color, and texture, but not necessarily in that order...


Why doesn't changing an object's shape or size affect it's density?

No, size doesn't affect an object's shape because it's the same unit and material.
